I was just wondering what kind of damage a balor's death throes does (like fire, force, etc)

Please help.

Seems like unnamed. It is simply some sort of pure destructive force. So there does not appear to be any way to avoid it save for evasion or total cover.

ok thanks, one of my players wanted to know if it was fire damage because he has fire immunity

I would say either Lawful (not sure the actual descriptor word, but same type of dmg as a axiomatic mod on a weapon) or fire/evil, or maybe a mix. THats the joy of being DM :D

It's just pure destructive energy, no type at all.

Anarchic would make more sense than Axiomatic on a Balor, surely. ;)

But yes, as stated, it is "Purely destructive force", and as such, irresistible.
